I've started a running file on ACORN, hosted at our sister site:

 The Issa Report- ACORN "a criminal enterprise..."

[Joe 6-pack]

"You had to have a license to widen your driveway? Good God is there anything the goobermint won’t slap a tax on?"

LOL...that's just the beginning. Once the property has been improved by the driveway widening, they'll increase the assessed value of the property and raise the property taxes accordingly.

Beck has a reporter from Breitbart on right now speaking about the links, chains and families connecting Jarrett, Jones and Ayers to the Zero. Very interesting...watch his show today.

[444Flyer]

BTW Seeing as I mentioned "Breitbart"...rules are rules.;)

"Andrew Breitbart, Tea Partier"

[444Flyer]

When will ACORN be investigated under the RICO laws?

Worth a review. Info from an insider, the former “CEO” so to speak of ACORN.

“Twists and Turns of ACORN’s Finances”

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,520671,00.html

And this from 5/21:

“Glenn Beck on ACORN and Drummond Pike’s Tides”

“The “Glenn Beck Program” had a segment today on Fox News about the connection between ACORN and the Tides Foundation. (I can’t find a video clip of the segment online yet.)

He said that Drummond Pike, head of the Tides Foundation, wrote a personal check for about $700,000 to ACORN to cover the bulk of the $948,000 that Dale Rathke, brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke, embezzled from the ACORN network.

The Tides Foundation is a pass-through entity. Wealthy liberals give the charity money, take the tax deduction, and then tell Tides which causes to give their money to. The money is then given in the name of Tides and the real donor’s name is withheld. Pike has said that keeping the identity of Tides donors secret is very important...”

“Glenn Beck Video About ACORN, Tides Foundation, Embezzlement”

http://spectator.org/blog/2009/05/22/glenn-beck-video-about-acorn-t

(snip)The Tides Foundation is a pass-through entity. Wealthy liberals give the charity money, take the tax deduction, and then tell Tides which causes to give their money to. The money is then given in the name of Tides and the real donor’s name is withheld. Pike has said that keeping the identity of Tides donors secret is very important and that’s why he covered Dale Rathke’s debt. Pike is also treasurer of George Soros’s Democracy Alliance, which funds ACORN and plenty of other left-wing causes...”

[Real Cynic No More]

... (i) the officers, directors and shareholders (probably no shareholders here) will lose the corporate protection against personal liability on lawsuits, and (ii) the organization loses the ability to bring suit in state courts.

Is that an opening to go after individual officers in ACORN now?

[Redcloak]

This just in: The State of Maryland has issued as arrest warrant for Mike Roman. The suspect is accused of reporting without a license and may be part of a larger gang of illegal reporters operating in the State.

[Freedom2specul8]

Thank you for the ping...
Bookmarked to read tonight.

Thanks again for that good pic of Breitbart. It seems that the guys always have some great looking conservative woman to post...thanks for remembering the gals!
